SYNOPSIS: No, it's not the third sequel in the little-known "Phase" series. It's a flick about how ordinary ants can become intelligent, given enough stimulus by man. A group of scientists lock themselves in a dome in the middle of the desert and observe an enormous super-colony of ants. The ants try to kill them in various clever ways, eventually overcoming Man's much-vaunted technology. What happens to the scientists after they're captured? Only the ants know...and they're not telling.
